The Man Who Knew Too Much

by: Michael Balcon (uncredited)

Topics: suspense dramas, thrillers, assassination plot, kidnapping, Leslie Banks, Edna Best, Peter Lorre, Hugh Wakefield, Nova Pilbeam, Frank Vosper

Publisher: Gaumont British Picture Corporation

“Fast-paced, witty and atmospheric” “Vastly underrated” “Early gem by the master of suspense” (IMDB reviews quotes).

A worthy suspense drama in which a British couple’s daughter is kidnapped to prevent their exposure of an assassination plot. The excellent cast includes Peter Lorre’s first appearance in a Hitchcock Film. Remade in 1956. It would make an interesting double feature with Hitch’s “Sabotage.” IMDB rating 6.9.

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Released in 1934.

I've enjoyed both versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much by Hitchcock. Each have their own merits. This one is great for Peter Lorre, who always plays the creepy bad guy so well.
